It always gets to this when the season’s almost done; Eight teams left and a premiership to be won.
The other 10 teams have Mad Mondays, get rid of all their bugs,
Or in the Bombers’ case, swear off bloody drugs!
What a year it has been, full of spectacle and sparkle
Spoiled somewhat unexpectedly with the Essendon debacle.
And just to end the season and cause the AFL to fidget
Some halfwit from St Kilda sets fire to a midget!
There were injuries, retirements, suspensions and great marks,
Night footy at Geelong and goodbye AAMI park.
The Giants were cut down to size, the Demons had the blues,
Will Buddy play for GWS, will Melbourne get Paul Roos?
Coaches came and coaches went, Neeld was sacked, not cryin’.
Vossy went the same way, no longer with the Lions.
And Eagles fans, a season lost, there’s hope there so no fear
Certainly John Worsfold won’t be coaching them next year!
10 teams can lick their wounds, drown sorrows at the bar
And tell each other while they’re drunk, just how good they are!
But truth be told, in this month, things would be looking up
If on that last day they were there holding the Premiership Cup!
Eight teams left to battle, the Hawks, the Cats, the Swans,
Fremantle and the Pies, and what should have been the Dons!
The Tigers after 10 years awakened from their slumbers
Surprisingly the Power and the Blues just make up numbers.
So if you have no ticket for the big match – what a shame,
Grab a beer, turn on the box, enjoy the bloody game!

Why wasn't Brandon Zerk-Thatcher right on the line?
A touching Showdown moment for an Adelaide great.
Beautiful to see from Charlie Clarke.
